Time to partake in caramels, until that is ruined.

[It's fine, they can do non-food-based kisses. Kissing is always good.]

That's it, yes. Truthfully the university is for several branches of study, but that's the department I stick to. The campus is so large that you have to travel to different buildings to get to different departments.

[aubins]

Too much of a good thing is a bad thing, etc, etc.

[ (smooch emojis) ]

So, more than Sfeer theory, but that's just what you focus on. ... Sounds kind of like Garreg Mach, in terms of the size and having to move around a lot, but without the variety. You can study anything there?

[notaccurate]

Well,not anything, it's a school related to the sciences. You wouldn't go there to study literature or military tactics, for example. But any branch of science, yes.

[aubins]

[ what the fuck is a science. ]

Right. I get it. Like you wouldn't go to Garreg Mach to study Crest research when it's a military academy... normally. [ he can think of two people who did double duty ]

So it's specialised, then with subsections of that specialisation.

[notaccurate]

It is. But I wonder, what do you know about science in general?

[aubins]

[ ... eeeeeehhhhhhhh. ]

I know what fire can burn? [ that's a science, right? ] And that water's wet.

[notaccurate]

Yuri.

[He is suddenly very serious.]

We need to introduce you to the wonders of science.

[aubins]

[ ... do they though? ]

I've managed so far without it.

[notaccurate]

But it's so fascinating, I think you'll like it when you see it.

Here, I already had the materials earlier today, I can show you. They're in the kitchen.

[aubins]

[ he can almost here the wheedling in luca's voice. wow. ]

After we're done having tea and pretending like we're not walking the knife edge of this place ripping out our memories for all to see.

[notaccurate]

-ah.

[Luca, so caught up in his nerdiness that he forgot that Yuri is in a bad mood from memory week.

He sinks back in his chair and glances away, looking a bit sheepish.]

My apologies. I get a little too heated when it comes to the sciences.

[aubins]

[ ...

he sighs, sets his tea down and leans over to rap luca on the forehead with his knuckles. lightly, of course. ]

What are you apologising for?

I'm saying sure, but after I've finished my tea. [ enthusiasm isn't a bad thing. ] This place being an ass isn't your fault.

[notaccurate]

[He turns back to Yuri as soon as he feels those knuckles on his forehead. It doesn't hurt, but it does drag him out of his momentary embarrassment.]

It's, er...I know I can be a bit much sometimes. That's all.

[...]

Um. Tell me if I'm being too much?

[aubins]

[ ... ]

Do I look like I would not tell you if you were being "too much"?

[notaccurate]

No, but you haven't said anything about it yet either.

[aubins]

Then what does that suggest....?

[ c'mon luca. work through your anxiety brain you can do it. ]

[notaccurate]

That I haven't hit that level of annoying yet?

[He's Trying. The anxiety is strong.]

I'm sorry, I really am. But I genuinely do like your company and don't want to scare you off.

[aubins]

Annnd I would say something if I wasn’t interested in what you were talking about, or if you were being over bearing about it.

[ siiiiiiiiiiip ]

I’m a big boy, I can voice my opinions all by myself. [ and so far he has not had the need to tell luca to stop? ]

[notaccurate]

Ah. True.

[And he'll just. stop whinging and drink his own tea too. But he's clearly glancing at Yuri like he's waiting for him to follow that up with something else. A "buuuut" or something.]

[aubins]

[ yuri just sips his tea and does not follow it up with a "buuuuuuuuuuuut". ]

[notaccurate]

[And it's fukken quiet. Well.

That just makes a small, genuine smile tug at the corner of his mouth.]

You truly are something else, you know.

[aubins]

[ ... ]

I'm really not.

[ he sets his teacup down. ]

I'm a product of what I deal with. Other people would step up in the same, or similar ways.

[notaccurate]

Other people usually find creative ways to insult me, or to ignore me if I ramble too much. So, thank you for treating me frankly. I do appreciate that.

[aubins]

Frank is what I do. And don't get me wrong, I can be an asshole like the next person.

Again, I'd tell you if I wasn't interested. Killing a passion just because you're not personally interested is stupid -- I'd rather you told someone else than waste that enthusiasm if wasn't one hundred per cent invested.

[ he doesn't have a lot he's passionately invested in outside of his dream, however he tries to go about it, and surviving the war. ]

[notaccurate]

You know, that's part of why I always stayed out of romances. Putting yourself out there like that is terrifying, when you know the other person might not be as interested as you are.

[The lore of why Luca is all bang and no feelings. Offered up because he has half a feeling for Yuri.]
